Abigail T. v. Talkington School for Young Women Leaders

Case Summary

Abigail is a ninth grade girl from Texas who wanted to advertise for See You at the Pole (SYATP) this year at her school. SYATP is an annual gathering of Christian students of all ages at a flagpole in front of their local school for prayer, scripture-reading, and worship during the early morning before school starts. She planned to put up flyers this year, but normally she is prevented from doing so by the school. A follow up call is scheduled for more information and to determine the next steps.
